Hopeton01 - The Other Side of Christmas

You've  heard of the 'loneliness of the long-distance runner'  - well, after the hype and buzz of the Christmas sales comes the loneliness of the market trader . . . After the crowds have gone, there still remains so much to be done in order for the next morning to get off to a smooth start.

I returned to visit  Northampton Market - once the largest open-air market in all of England. It's much-diminished now but the traders are no less spirited!
